Most confusing reviews I have ever read. Does this unit need a power supply for the remote to work or not?

It said it didn't need power but it has a plug-in port for power. Of course it didn't come with a power supply and more importantly - it didn't work at all! I have a Mac with 2 traditional monitors and one tablet monitor. I need to switch which 2 are in operation depending on what I'm doing. I got a Kinivo 301BN after the Apogee failure. It has more ports than and need and cost more than the Apogee but I'd rather pay $30 for something that works than $12 for a piece of garbage. FYI - the Kinivo needs power.

That's the thousand dollar question for this cheap POS. I cannot get a reply from the seller. I can tell you, this product did not work for me. It worked for about 2 minutes, then it went static ridden, then went black, no signal. I could only assume that it's either truly a POS, or if it needs a power supply, since it has a plug for one. I don't know where to get a power supply to try to fully answer just your question, the remote will work once you plug in the receiver it comes with. I don't have a power supply, but my remote doss indeed work.

No it does not. But I wish I had spent A little more money and got a better one.

No. Mine is working beautifully between FireTV and AppleTV(Gen 3). Add - The switch is connected to a 2014 Panasonic Smart LED TV and the 2 devices mentioned.

You can get the power supply at Radio Shack. Just look at the specs on the white remote receiver box.

There is no power supply with this unit. It is powered through the hdmi cables from the tv.

Yes it does. The remotes can be used without the power cord. Just charge it every once in awhile. It will start beeping to let you know it needs a charge.

Obviously the unit needs to be powered for it to be function. The top left "input" on the unit is for 12v in. The wall power adapter that comes with the unit needs to be plugged in, coax from that right into that port is how you accomplish that. I hope that answers your question.

Comes with power supply. By the way, this unit doesn't recognize codecs like those from a DVD player. It works fine for basic PCM sources like TV's, but not others.

Remote came with mine. If you're buying an "open box" or "factory refurbished" unit, then it might be missing a component, such as the remote, however it would have to state that in the description.

Are you saying the remote would not work? Or the unit itself? The unit gets plugged into the wall socket. If the remote won't work, I would contact the company.

Yes, they give a remote with this unit. The remote is kinda on the big side as to this unit is pretty old now. Good luck out there!

None... seriously, this was my concern also, but that's what the description said and it works! Feeds off the HDMI power. Just a battery for the remote (came with).

No this is just the lock - need power supply and switch (which could be operated with a remote).

Yes it comes with power supply and remote. It installed nicely and worked great.

no, you need to buy a power supply and switch separately. This is usually controlled by an access control system.

the remote was missing when I bought my house and this worked great...it will work with it's own receiver which is included...just plug it in and hook up a couple of wires...I put in an entirely new garage opener and have one of these that I would sell...plantstation1@yahoo.com

Given that the remote comes in the main packaging with the light, in the bottom layer of the box, it should be included regardless of vendor. The included product documentation does not refer to it as optional, either. However, the power supply is packaged separately, so you may want to confirm with the particular vendor (you didn't say which one) that they are including a power supply. Additionally, the very first YN600 that I ordered from one vendor (A&R Video) was the older version that wasn't adjustable color temp, so I had to return it.

I bought a refurbished unit and the remote worked fine. I think I would return it if it's not functional.

I did not receive a power supply with my unit. I don't know that its needed. I have had my HDMI switcher for a year now and it always selects the active port. I have a Blue ray player, Kindle and laptop connected to it.
